Art Collection on Show
The collection is on display in key locations, including council's administration buildings, libraries and selected venues
Sunshine Coast Council is committed to enabling access to the Art Collection through a vibrant presentation of selected artworks on the walls of public and civic buildings, external loans and touring exhibitions, curated exhibitions, outreach opportunities and an online Art Collections database.
The Art Collection is currently on display in key locations across the region, including the public foyers of Council's administration buildings, libraries and selected venues.
The Art Collection is also showcased at times in themed exhibitions at the Caloundra Regional Gallery. See information below for details of Art Collection exhibitions and displays.
At times, artworks are also loaned externally for specific exhibitions and displays to promote the Art Collection and the Sunshine Coast beyond the region. Council provides and seeks opportunities for effective Collection partnerships with other galleries, museums or groups. For more information, please contact the Collections Curator.
